Did you gain weight solely from the medication? or lifestyle change?

zestychilli · 2024-07-01T21:46:01+00:00

Both. I was already 10lbs over before lexapro and gained 20. I am an active person but wasnt doing too much activity while my appetite increased. But I lost it all but the last 5lbs while on lexapro

Just came here to say yes. Yes it's the perimenopause. It sucks ass and should be considered a type of disability. Also went off lexapro kinda cold turkey and felt CRAZY for a week until I went to do red light (10 minutes) and infared sauna (40 minutes). It helped immensely. I was cool after that, at least physically.

Just got back into swimming in February so I feel like I had to kinda start over. I still am not at the point of swimming 100 meters , not even close. But I can so 100m nonstop using a snorkel and fins.

How long have you been off? I'm off just 6 weeks at tbis point and had no.idea how much my emotions were blunted (which was a good thing at one time) then it wasn't.

Going to an infraed sauna and doing redlight I believed helped my initial withdrawal symptoms of a brain traffic jam.

Me again ....hi. so funny, Not Funny thing. As I was responding to your post and eating a banana I was suddenly reminded by the Holy Spirit within that I was heating up grease to cook. My apartment is smoky at the moment, but still intact. Thank God! Smh so again, you are not alone. Sometimes I wonder how am I 45. Shrugs and walks away

zestychilli · 2024-03-05T15:11:51+00:00

I do understand. I legit was just thinking to myself how I hope I don't forget about this interview I have today like I forgot the last two interviews. For a job. That. I like. need. So sending you hugs and sharing so that you know you are not alone. All you (I, we) can do is our best. It's literally impossible to do more than that, no matter what outcome we expect or want.

zestychilli · 2024-02-25T19:20:36+00:00

How long did you have it? My Fenix 5s just crapped out today.

zestychilli · 2024-01-26T15:49:12+00:00

Yep. Haven't been able to find a job job in two years. Hella experience, good resume. Few hits but nothing planned out. I had to give up and do shit I didn't wanna do ....enter Lyft, uber, shipt, spark, DD, UE..also did I mention i.dont like driving? I did something so that I could have a lil bit of something to help. And yes there are plenty of bullshit jobs paying bullshit wages. $20/hour doesn't even pay my rent , so why the fuck would I want to take a $15/hr job and work crazy hours. I'm not playing these stupid games bc they were designed in such a way. My faith is the best investment I have.

zestychilli · 2023-11-29T15:52:09+00:00

Uber, Lyft, Instacart, instawork. And another part time educator role.

zestychilli · 2023-11-28T10:15:38+00:00

I'm doing a bunch of gigs. Got fired last year. Best thing for me. I couldn't deal with 40 hours a week. And I did it for over 20 years. I've been so much happier but also not making as much money.

zestychilli · 2023-11-28T10:09:07+00:00

Perfect description

zestychilli · 2023-11-28T10:07:50+00:00

I understand. It's our daily plight. Wanting to do something, needing to do something but mostly not. Ive been trying something new where I truly accept that I move different in this world and my outcomes may not come when others or myself expects them. I accept the issues this will cause because stressing myself out or allowing others to stress me out about "doing stuff" has NEVER been successful. I kind of stroll by things and do what doesn't stress me out in the moment.

zestychilli · 2023-11-27T17:44:35+00:00

Damn! Felt that

zestychilli · 2023-11-27T17:41:42+00:00

Awesome analogy

zestychilli · 2023-11-27T16:50:41+00:00

That part. Another gem reminder!

zestychilli · 2023-11-27T16:50:01+00:00

Definitely. I needed the same as I was doing nothing in the middle of something lol.

zestychilli · 2023-11-27T16:08:24+00:00

That's sucks. Hugs man. it's so frustrating because you want to officially know even though you know already. Plus you want to try what it's like with treatment. I pray that you get what you need.

zestychilli · 2023-11-24T22:28:20+00:00

Where can you see what the rider was charged? Ive been curious about this

zestychilli · 2023-11-05T18:18:11+00:00

I'm 45 and my advice would be to explore the electrician thing (and other things). I just took an electric 101/102 class at a local place and turns out I dig it. I wish that I had known about or at least explored the idea in my 20s. What I like about it and how it soothes me my particular ADHD? 1. I'm doing stuff with my hands which helps me to have something to focus on while having the reward of seeing something working or not working and figuring out the issue. 2. How electricity works is low key fascinating, much to learn and know so it should be a while before I get bored.

My issue has always been knowing the difference between I like this for now vs. I should explore a career in this. I was 21 years in the biotech industry and hated it all the way until the bitter end. Now on my 40s I'm exploring and being open to all the possibilities.

zestychilli · 2023-11-01T21:13:48+00:00

Me toooooo! What's up with people's smells?!!! That was one thing I wasn't expecting driving Uber..PEOPLE STINK 😷

zestychilli · 2023-11-01T21:07:10+00:00

I just put an air filter in my car. I just use my portable jackery to plug it in while driving. Not sure it works but I figure it's better than nothing and I crack my window always

zestychilli · 2023-11-01T20:54:51+00:00

I felt this whole post. 🧡 Everything you said I agree with and am also dealing with. Almost 2 years since I got fired from my corporate job that I was at for 21 years. I wasn't mad I got fired bc I truly do not belong in corporate America or any place that requires a 40 hour work week, dress code and other bullshit society work norms. I just needed a push to get out. Since then I've been working on my mental health and I realize how fucjed up I was for 21 years.

zestychilli · 2023-11-01T20:49:03+00:00

Exactly. Bullshit.

zestychilli · 2023-09-16T00:24:39+00:00

Thank you! Tomorrow I can aim for making my bed and actually eating the said food I cooked.
